During our research in Mexico, we were lucky enough to stumble upon David Rose (www.davidrosenlp.com) who is a teacher of Neuro Linguistic Programming for the actor. NLP for the actor is the retraining of the mind to build self-confidence, get better results in going after goals, and an overall tool to keep one present and positive.
According to David Rose’s website… “generally speaking, NLP provides a practical understanding of how the brain works... how people think, learn, motivate themselves and change. NLP is about how people process and retrieve information and how this manifests into behavior. NEURO refers to the mind-body-spirit system, because it is through our senses that we perceive and experience the world and from which we create our “realities”. LINGUISTIC refers to Language because in large part, we process, make meaning, understand and describe our experience linguistically. Not only do our perceptions shape the language we use… language (internally and externally) shapes our perceptions, responses and behavior. Therefore, language is more than just a means of communication, it is an "organ of perception". PROGRAMMING refers to internal processing, because thinking can be thought of as a network of internal programs. Basically, what people are able to do is directly related to these internal programs. Therefore, the ability to do anything is based, in large part, upon the ability to influence thinking patterns to program and re-program the mental processes from which responses and behavior are created."
We contacted David and he was generous enough to donate the programs he uses to help train actors in getting rid of insecurities and performance anxiety. The programs aid the actor in taking control of his/her life by teaching positive communication both internally and externally. Our group has personally seen remarkable growth and development from the utilization of this program. We continue to receive weekly tips (http://www.davidrosenlp.com/freetips.htm) that provide us with helpful ways to apply the NLP techniques in our careers as well as daily lives. We are fascinated by the practice of NLP and are grateful to David Rose for his wisdom and continued support.
